In FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 1H to FIG. 1J, the image-side assembled element 160 is disposed close and connected to the image-side end 110 b of the plastic barrel 110. The image-side assembled element 160 is in a tube shape and extends from the object side za to the image side zb (i.e., extends from the image side zb to the object side za), and the image-side assembled element 160 surrounds the optical axis z and is disposed coaxially with the plastic barrel 110.

The object-side end 160 a is an end, which is toward the object side za, of the image-side assembled element 160. The inner protruding portion 162 extends toward the optical axis z, and a minimum opening 179 of the image-side assembled element 160 is located at the inner protruding portion 162.

In FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D, the light blocking element assembly 180 is disposed in the image-side assembled element 160 and includes a plurality of (i.e., at least two) light blocking elements. Specifically, the light blocking element assembly 180 includes light blocking elements 181, 171 and 182, in order from the object side za to the image side zb. The light blocking element 181 among the light blocking elements 181, 171 and 182 is abutted with an annular wall 163 b of the inner protruding portion 162. In the 1st embodiment, each of the light blocking elements 181 and 182 is a light blocking sheet, the light blocking element 171 is a spacer, and the light blocking element 171 is disposed between the light blocking elements 181 and 182. The inner protruding portion 162 of the image-side assembled element 160 includes annular walls 163 a and 163 b. A normal direction of the annular wall 163 a and a normal direction of the annular wall 163 b are both parallel to the optical axis z.

In FIG. 1A, the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160 both in the tube shapes contact each other via the first contacting surface 115 and the second contacting surface 165 to be disposed coaxially with respect to the optical axis z. Specifically, the first contacting surface 115 is located at an inner annular surface of the plastic barrel 110, which is closer to the optical axis z than an outer annular surface thereof. The second contacting surface 165 is located at an outer annular surface of the image-side assembled element 160, which is farther away from the optical axis z than an inner annular surface thereof.

Furthermore, the plastic barrel 110 and the optical lens assembly 140 are assembled to be an optical imaging assembly. The optical lens assembly 140 may further include light blocking elements, such as a light blocking sheet, a spacer, etc. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, there are a light blocking sheet and a spacer in order from the object side za to the image side zb between the optical lens elements 143 and 144. The optical imaging assembly has light refractive power for imaging and controlling the image quality. The image-side assembled element 160 and the light blocking element assembly 180 are assembled to be an image-side light blocking assembly, which does not include a lens element. The image-side light blocking assembly is configured to block light so as to block the stray light.

When a length along a direction of the optical axis z (i.e., an optical axis z direction) of the plastic barrel 110 is L1, and a length along the direction of the optical axis z of the image-side assembled element 160 is L2, the following condition is satisfied: 1.5<L1/L2<5.0. Therefore, there are two assemblies (i.e., the optical imaging assembly and the image-side light blocking assembly aforementioned in the last paragraph) configured in the imaging lens module according to the present disclosure. One assembly thereof is configured to optically image, and the other assembly thereof is configured to block the stray light. Thus, it is favorable for selecting and arranging the optical imaging assembly and the image-side light blocking assembly with the corresponding types based on various specifications and requirements, so as to raise the production efficiency and reduce the production cost of the imaging lens module. Moreover, the imaging lens module 100 assembled with two assemblies is advantageous in tolerating more concentricity tolerances, maintaining the manufacturing yield rate, and reducing the stray light in an image-side end of the imaging lens module 100 so as to enhance the image quality.

Furthermore, the image-side assembled element 160 and the light blocking element assembly 180 with the light blocking design are added to the plastic barrel 110 on the image side zb is applicable in the imaging lens module 100 being as a telephoto optical system. The image-side assembled element 160 is assembled on the plastic barrel 110 on the image side zb, and thereby the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160 can be assembled with the optical lens assembly 140 and the light blocking element assembly 180, respectively, to add the light blocking manners. The light blocking manners added by the image-side assembled element 160 and the light blocking element assembly 180 are favorable for suppressing the flare occurrences come out of the imaging lens module 100, in particular, suppressing the stray light defects neglected in the engineering design phase of the lens driving apparatus (e.g., autofocus assembly) itself. In addition, the design of the image-side assembled element 160 and the light blocking element assembly 180 would not negatively affect the image quality and specification of the optical lens assembly 140 after assembling with the light blocking manners.

In FIG. 1A and FIG. 1H, a glue groove 121 may be formed between the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160. A glue material 122 is disposed in the glue groove 121. The glue material 122 is an adhesive of unlimited materials. Therefore, the imaging lens module 100 is advantageous in being processed by a side-dispensing technique so as to increase the structural stability thereof. In the 1st embodiment, the glue groove 121 is formed between a recessed section of the inner annular surface of the plastic barrel 110 and the outer annular surface of the image-side assembled element 160. The image-side assembled element 160 includes at least two annular side openings 174, so that the glue groove 121 between the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160 is connected to the outside of the imaging lens module 100.

In FIG. 1A, FIG. 1D and FIG. 1E, at least one of the first contacting surface 115 and the second contacting surface 165 (specifically, the first contacting surface 115) may include a plurality of stripe structures 116. Each of the stripe structures 116 is in a stripe shape being slightly protruded or slightly recessed, and extends to the glue groove 121 between the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160. The stripe structures 116 are regularly arranged along a circumferential direction of the optical axis z. Therefore, it is favorable for providing more assembling and contacting force between the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160, and thereby achieving a more stable structure of the imaging lens module 100 while cooperating with the glue. In the 1st embodiment, each of the first contacting surface 115, the second contacting surface 165 and the glue groove 121 is in an annular shape (i.e., a ring shape) around the optical axis z. In another embodiment according to the present disclosure (not shown in drawings), each of the first contacting surface and the second contacting surface includes a plurality of stripe structures.

When a number of the stripe structures 116 of the first contacting surface 115 is N, the following condition may be satisfied: 60≤N≤360. Therefore, the denser arrangement of the stripe structures 116 is beneficial for the glue material 122 to evenly flow.

In FIG. 1A, when a length along the direction of the optical axis z of each of the first contacting surface 115 and the second contacting surface 165 is d, and a smallest distance from the first contacting surface 115 and the second contacting surface 165 to the optical axis z is D, the following condition may be satisfied: 0.03<d/D<0.35. Therefore, the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160 are firmly and stably assembled via the first contacting surface 115 and the second contacting surface 165.

In FIG. 1B, FIG. 1F and FIG. 1I, when a diameter of a minimum opening 119 of the plastic barrel 110 is φ1, and a diameter of the minimum opening 179 of the image-side assembled element 160 is φ2, the following condition may be satisfied: 0.7<φ2/φ1<1.2. Therefore, it is favorable for preventing the excess concentric tolerance between the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160. In addition, the minimum opening 179 of the image-side assembled element 160 is in a non-circular shape, and the parameter φ2 is a minimum diameter passing through the optical axis z of the minimum opening 179, as shown in FIG. 1I.

The minimum inner annular surface 176 is a position of the inner annular surface of the image-side assembled element 160 located corresponding to the minimum opening 179. The minimum opening 179 is in a non-circular shape. The minimum inner annular surface 176 includes a plurality of arc sections 177 and a plurality of line sections 178. The arc sections 177 have the same radius value (i.e., the same curvature radius value) and the same circle center being the optical axis z. The arc sections 177 and the line sections 178 are alternatively arranged along the circumferential direction of the optical axis z. Two ends of each of the line sections 178 are respectively connected to two of the arc sections 177, i.e., two ends of each of the arc sections 177 are respectively connected to two of the line sections 178. Therefore, it is favorable for alignment identifying during assembling the imaging lens module 100.

In FIG. 1H and FIG. 1I, the image-side assembled element 160 may be made of a black plastic material by an injection molding method, and the outer annular surface of the image-side assembled element 160 includes at least two gate traces 169. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the occurrence probability of insufficiently filling and the uneven surface during an injection molding process of the image-side assembled element 160. In the 1st embodiment, a number of the gate traces 169 is two, and the two gate traces 169 are symmetrical with respect to the optical axis z.

An object-side surface 150 a of the light blocking sheet 150 is abutted with the plastic barrel 110, and an image-side surface 150 b of the light blocking sheet 150 is abutted with the annular wall 163 a. Therefore, the stray light from and around contacting positions (among the first contacting surface 115, the second contacting surface 165, the glue groove 121 and the glue material 122) between the plastic barrel 110 and the image-side assembled element 160 can be effectively blocked.

The arc sections 157 and the line sections 158 are alternatively arranged along the circumferential direction of the optical axis z, and each of the line sections 158 is connected between two of the arc sections 157. Therefore, at least one of the light blocking sheet 150 and the light blocking elements 181, 182, which are the light blocking sheets, having the aforementioned features is advantageous in enhancing the efficiency of blocking non-imaging light.

Specifically, the light blocking sheet 150 and the light blocking elements 181, 182, which are the light blocking sheets, all have the features aforementioned in the last paragraph.

The inner annular surface 156 includes four arc sections 157 and four line sections 158. The arc sections 157 have the same radius value and the same circle center. The arc sections 157 and the line sections 158 are alternatively arranged along the circumferential direction of the optical axis z. Two ends of each of the line sections 158 are respectively connected to two of the arc sections 157, i.e., two ends of each of the arc sections 157 are respectively connected to two of the line sections 158.

Two ends of each of the line sections 1818 are respectively connected to two of the arc sections 1817, i.e., two ends of each of the arc sections 1817 are respectively connected to two of the line sections 1818. An inner opening 1829 is formed by an inner annular surface 1826 of the light blocking element 182. The inner opening 1829 is in a non-circular shape. The inner annular surface 1826 includes four arc sections 1827 and four line sections 1828. The arc sections 1827 have the same radius value and the same circle center. The arc sections 1827 and the line sections 1828 are alternatively arranged along the circumferential direction of the optical axis z. Two ends of each of the line sections 1828 are respectively connected to two of the arc sections 1827, i.e., two ends of each of the arc sections 1827 are respectively connected to two of the line sections 1828.

A position, which is located correspondingly to the inner protruding portion 162, of the outer annular surface of the image-side assembled element 160 includes a directional groove 173, which is recessed toward the optical axis z and extends along the direction of the optical axis z, i.e., the directional groove 173 has a specific recessed distance along the direction of the optical axis z. The directional protrusion 123 is disposed correspondingly to the directional notch 153 and the directional groove 173. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the warpage occurrence probability of the light blocking sheet 150, providing automatic visual identification and positioning capability during assembling, and raising the assembling efficiency of the imaging lens module 100.

In FIG. 1A and FIG. 1D, the imaging lens module 100 may further include a first retainer 130 disposed in the accommodating space 117 of the plastic barrel 110 and for fixedly disposing the optical lens assembly 140. A glue groove 131 is formed between the plastic barrel 110 and the first retainer 130, and a glue material 132 is disposed in the glue groove 131. Therefore, it is favorable for enhancing the structural stability of the imaging lens module 100 so as to reduce the occurrence probability of space distance changing between the optical elements resulted from the collisions. Specifically, the first retainer 130 is disposed on the object side za with respect to the optical lens assembly 140 and for fixedly disposing the optical lens assembly 140. The glue groove 131 is formed between a recessed section of the inner annular surface of the plastic barrel 110 and an outer surface of the first retainer 130.

Therefore, it is favorable for increasing the assembling and contacting force between the plastic barrel 110 and the first retainer 130, so as to raise the dispensing efficiency and conveniently manufacture the stripe structures 134 by the injection molding method. In the 1st embodiment, the contact surface 113 is located on the inner annular surface of the plastic barrel 110, and the contact surface 133 is located on the outer annular surface of the first retainer 130.
